Distinctive 



GreenHouses 



To most people a greenhouse is just a green- 

 house — a long. low. glass covered building, 

 unimportant except for what it contains. They 

 all look alike. But ours are made with a beauty 

 of design and a conformity to their surround- 

 ings — it is just this, (next to utility), to which 

 we devote great care. 



This one we built at Chestnut Hill. Pa.— a 

 simple, well designed, attractive layout, in every 

 way practical. Steel frame construction. 



Our circular shows numerous others just as at- 

 tractive—send for it.

WE don't mind admitting having been a bit slow 

 in adopting the Curved Eave House, but we 

 had our reasons. There were certain raiher 

 serijus coustiuction defects in other curved eave 

 houses, which we were bound to completely overcome 

 before we sold a single house. 



Even the houses we sell you now are a great im- 

 provement over the first ones we built. And that's our 

 way of doing business: first we are sure of a thing— and 

 then we go ahead and after that, keep on improving it.

From the Inside— Out 



You know there is not a house built today, 

 no matter what the construction, that has 

 the extreme lightness, beauty and prac- 

 ticalness of our U-Bar Curved Eave. 



Just look at this side view ! You never 

 saw anything like it in any other house I 

 It is the patented U-Bar Construction that 

 makes such an interior possible. At no 

 points are there heavier roof supporting 

 members thanyousee right in this interior, 

 and all these are galvanized steel, alumi- 

 num finished. 



If you want a house that you can show to 

 your friends with the satisfaction of know- 

 ing it is the lightest and most attractive, 

 "the best there is." then the U-Bar is the 

 house for you. 



It might be well to drop us a line at once.
